Osmunda regalis ‘Purpurascens’


Purple-stemmed Royal Fern

 USDA Zone: 3-9

Plant number: 9.046.150


Royal Fern is one of the largest and most spectacular species for the garden. Plants form a distinct clump of tall, arching fronds of bright green divided leaves. New spring growth is purplish in colour, the stems retaining this colour all season long. Brownish spore-bearing pinnae are clustered at the end of each leafy frond in a short spike. Loves moist to wet soil, tolerating full sun in cool summer regions. Old leaves should be pruned to the ground in late winter. Deciduous.
